One trip, was supposed to be a test drive, but the girlfriend didn't want to try it said the boyfriend should do it. (why didn't he try it the 1st 2 times). I figure 1 more trip, and its still here, I'm going to think that they're casing the joint.

Yep, better be careful. If they are young it maybe their way of saying I want it but I need a few more days to scrape up 500 bucks

I'm wanting to believe its the latter. They are not young kids. They're certainly thirties or more. The vehicle they currently drive isn't theirs, they are kind-of the "hard luck" type. She works cleaning, he's helping a "neighbor" with haying & misc. odds and ends. With any luck they'll be here this evening, try it-buy it-drive it away.

It was hotter than I would prefer to be weaning calves today but we did it anyway. My son is turning into real help and just in time as somewhere along the way I got to old to do it all by myself. Luckily the small rip in the crotch of my jeans turned into a big rip as I was grateful for the added ventilation by the time we got done.

Getting ready to plant wheat, but grain trailer somehow got two punctured tires, so a small setback. The boys divided up the pastures among themselves and took salt and mineral to the cows today. A pallet of mineral doesn't last but a few days, but the cattle are healthy and calves aren't getting sick anywhere. We weaned the calves off first calf heifers 3 days ago, so have some bawlers.

Spent time giving grandson a 4 wheeler ride, and then a ride on my shoulders. He'll be spending the night with us tonight for the first time. We'll see how he likes that.

Moved my cows into a different pasture this morning. It never gets old enjoying the ones that get silly and start shaking their heads and bucking & kicking. A couple of new calves, that were born before ever seeing this field, looked like they were on a big adventure.

I'm back to being dog poor. I bought a started dog and a pup a few months ago. I lost the started dog in a thunderstorm (still not sure what happened but a dead dog is a dead dog) and the pup tried to head off the mail truck and bring it back to me today. I'm back to two old grouchy retired bytches and a crippled houndish type therapy dog.

Awww, that's tough! So sorry!

There are two ways to be fooled. One is to believe what isn't true; the other is to refuse to believe what is true.
